flip and the combined effort - fa 226 lyrics

the call to try again came at a great surprise
i won’t f+ck it up this time, had my eyes on the prize
two months of prep i enlisted all the help i could get
performances on performances just to make sure i wouldn’t forget
keep my wrists down, keep those triplets even
watch those taps, switching grips from burton to stephens
prepping and prepping and crying and prayin
getting critiques, feeling bleak, my heart feels weak as i walk in

i made it! holy sh+t! i run out of the audition
hugged my grandparents tight as my future teachеrs looked over with a happy disposition
little chit chat and wе talk logistics
my hearts doing kick flips hard to resist it
come back later, ready for the chase
thinking i was the best, wasn’t the case

you grant me passage into your four walls
you deemed me worthy yet demanded more

i slaved and cried on your green floor you stow
more than just instruments on your plains

“who let this rink in?” they said all year
i would learn this much later while grabbing a beer
they weren’t unjustified it wasn’t my best
and that’s putting it nicely i was a complete mess
but i worked my ass off living in this room
leaving seldomnly would allow me to bloom
into the person i should have been 5 years ago
instead of macking on girls, trying to become their beaus
frustrations turn to joy, not quickly, slow
you guide me through the pleasure and the pain

5 years, 4 panes, 3 trials, 2 profs, 1 goal
you stood by me or rather stood so still
the room which i called home, you made me whole
i’ll miss our time and late night talks my thrill

the camera cl!cks with our last goodbye as students, i almost cried
we start making our way to a stage when i look back to the room i frequently occupied
sign up sheet riddled with names and times
from the finals week chaos it feels like a crime
leaving that room for one of my own
with more students, fewer instruments and more time alone
3 years later and i yearn to return
what i wouldn’t give to get one more turn
but i know i can’t go back it just wouldn’t be the same
all i have is the memories and this never failing flame

so now we say goodbye, my feelings mix
farewell my dear and lovely two two six
